    Will Robins walk?

    Nah, he knew the score when he came back. This is literally the only place he's had success, and I think (hope) he sees this club as his chance to become a managerial legend.

    final game at the Ricoh..

    Sorry, I hate to be that guy, but it's really bugging me to the point that I feel irrationally angry OP - your username should read Elton Welsby, not Welby.

    Cov Mad site.

    I've been on it a half dozen times since I joined this place. It was a great way to get club news once upon a time, but the internet moves on, and this site has the same info plus the benefit of arguments about it. Still, it's a shame, and I do appreciate the work that was put in.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Bristol Rovers Match Thread - Sunday 7th Apr

    Well, it was a good ride while it lasted. If it turns out to be our last season in football, then at least it wasn't a relegation battle.

    New Statement from SISU re. Council

    There are three protagonists in this story right now, and two of them want my club dead, so I make no apology for being on SISUs side here. I never though I'd see the day that a despised hedge fund cared more about our club than it's own city (i.e Council) , but that day is here. So rather than...

    New Statement from SISU re. Council

    My post was meant to be slightly humourous, but it seems that wasn't clear. Out of interest, whose side would you prefer I was on?

    New Statement from SISU re. Council

    I'm starting to feel like our owners really aren't the shitbags we all thought they were. In fact, right now I'd go as far as to say I'm in their corner. #TeamSISU. Fuck me, that felt weird.

    Stadium Deadline

    I think the EFL would want to see a binding contract somewhere tbh. Otherwise our home for next season still won't be 100% confirmed. I think the club said they expect it to go to the expulsion vote regardless (I could be wrong on that).

    SISU Open Letter Reply to Council

    To be fair, the 4 points aren't exactly groundbreaking. They're roughly what this forum has been asking for for several weeks, yet the trust have waited until now to point them out. I also take issue with their 'frustration' at the open letters. I'm actually glad of it. Get it out in the open...

    Clive Eakin - another council lackey

    If memory serves, he's a Tranmere supporter. I still miss Rob Gurney tbh.

    Clive Eakin - another council lackey

    That's why I said 'supposed requirement'. I think it's a part of their charter iirc. We all know they're anything but, but imho Clive has always tried to sit on the fence. If you asked him if he wanted a jacket potato for dinner he'd try to extol the virtues of mash, chips and wedges...

    Clive Eakin - another council lackey

    Clive has his hands tied, to be fair. The BBC can't be seen to take sides on something like this because of their supposed requirement for impartiality. I think he knows the score, but also knows that he'll end up caught in the middle of this whole shitstorm and piss off one or more of the SISU...

    SISU Open Letter Reply to Council

    What if Duggins is the mole? What if this is like when an MP leaves a briefcase on a train 'accidentally' so information gets out?

    SISU Open Letter Reply to Council

    It feels like CCC are losing control of the narrative, and don't quite know how to get it back.

    SISU Open Letter Reply to Council

    If true, this should be a national scandal.

    Tim said we are moving to rugby

    I need to hear a second or third person claim to have been in the room when it was said before I begin to believe this. I've been using the internet for too many years to trust anything off the say-so of one person.

    EFL Stadium Vote

    The fifty miles gives us options. If you limit it to twenty there are probably a handful of options, most at grounds not fit for L1 football, and most of which we've probably already looked at. Putting such a low limit on is akin to voting option C anyway.

    EFL Stadium Vote

    I agree with you. It's just that I've worked in environments where things have been twisted to fit political ends, and that is how I see option B. That said, I'm probably overthinking it.
